I was looking at the following task which is the port of the SerialVersionUID test into a reusable task.
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBBUILD-154
Porting it is no problem, but it brings up a higher level question. For things such as this, the validation of license headers tools, the tasks to start and stop jboss as well deploying things...we want to reuse them across JEMS products.
The serialVersion tests however relies on code that is found in the varia module and the server tasks are found in the test framework.
Are we reaching a point where this "common" code which is being housed in AS needs to abstracted out?
Yes, the tools code in varia should be moved to the jbossbuild or build tools project.
